Jefferson Gold Project strategically located on the Carolina Slate Belt GOLD IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Q4-2019 4TSXV: PUC
• The highly mineralized and underexplored Carolina Slate Belt runs from Georgia northeast through the Carolinas to Virginia, and has hosted many gold mines, including Barite Hill, Ridgeway, Howie, Haile and Brewer
• Pancon's 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project is ideally located in this gold-rich trend and surrounds the former Brewer Gold Mine, which mined 178,000 oz Au from 1987-1995
• The Jefferson Project is 15 kilometres along trend northeast of the operating Haile Gold Mine, which produced 131,819 ounces of gold in 2018 and has measured and indicated gold resources of 3.1 million oz Au
• The Jefferson Project is 55 kilometres along trend northeast of the former Ridgeway Gold Mine, where Kennecott Minerals produced more than 1.6 million oz Au from 1988-1999

JEFFERSON Gold Project, USA 100%-owned project surrounds former Brewer Gold Mine, 15km on trend from producing Haile Gold Mine
• Pancon’s 100%-owned Jefferson Gold Project (705 hectares) surrounds the former Brewer Gold mine property (405 hectares)
• Brewer mined 178,000 oz Au several decades ago from open pit operations that mined only down 50 metres where copper- and gold-rich sulphides were discovered but couldn’t be processed with a heap leach facility designed only for oxide gold ore
• Brewer’s prospective geology, including diatreme breccias, associated high sulphidation alteration, gold and copper mineralization, and geophysics support a possible porphyry-style copper-gold system
• Jefferson has multiple examples of outcrop and subcrop of strongly altered rock extending from mineralization at the former Brewer mine
• This seeming extension of Brewer’s northwest trend is 400 metres wide and extends across Pancon’s Jefferson Project for nearly 1 kilometre

JEFFERSON Gold Project, USA 100%-owned project surrounds former Brewer Gold Mine, 15km on trend from producing Haile Gold Mine
• The Project is adjacent, on the southwest quandrant, to Buzzard, an epithermal gold project similar to Haile and Brewer• Buzzard was co-discovered by Pancon’s senior geologist Dr. Criss Capps, who drilled multiple near-
surface gold intersections at Buzzard including: 6m of 27.97 g/t, 35.3m of 9.76 g/t, 44.7m of 7.07 g/t, and 15m of 5.72 g/t
• Pancon’s exploration plan for the Project in 2020 includes: ground geophysics, geological mapping, application of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology and state-of-the-art hyperspectral digital image scanning and mineral mapping of existing drill core and new rock samples, and shallow drilling
• Pancon expects this will lead to additional geophysics and a full drill program on targets believed to correlate to the Brewer gold system, and with geological similarities to the Haile Gold Mine, including similar host rock lithology, similar age, similar stratigraphy and time of mineralization, as well as similar alteration style and mineral assemblage

JEFFERSON Gold Project, USA 100%-owned project surrounds former Brewer Gold Mine, 15km on trend from producing Haile Gold Mine
• Haile Gold Mine, first discovered in 1827 and currently owned and operated by OceanaGold (TSX:OCG), is an open pit operation with a multi-million ounce resource and the potential for an expansion phase to an underground mine
• OceanaGold bought Haile from Romarco Minerals in 1996 for US$600 million, and then spent another $380 million to build the mine which began producing in 2018
• Jefferson Gold Project hosts similarities to Haile:
• Similar host rock lithology, similar age, similar stratigraphy and time of mineralization, as well as similar alteration style and mineral assemblage
• Of the 10 holes drilled on the Jefferson Gold Project between 2011-17, nine of them intersected gold mineralization, including one averaging 1.27 grams per tonne over 164.3 metres

SIGNIFICANT EM-Anomaly
• Ni-Cu-Co sulphide deposits may consist of massive, semi-massive and net-textured lenses with disseminated halos
• Such halos are good exploration vectors to target find massive sulphides
• The strong airborne EM anomaly is a conductive feature that is positioned with the non-conductive disseminated mineralization
• The sulphur content from the assayed Eastmain mineralized zones are relatively low, which is expected in accordance with disseminated sulphides
• Projected to massive sulphides of approximately 35% S*, St. Laurent’s Ni grade could potentially be 4.8% and the Co grade could potentially be 0.2%
• These are comparable massive sulphide grades found at the former Montcalm Mine
Robust 600-metre long EM anomaly with associated Ni-Cu-Co-Au-Pt- Pd Mineralization trending towards a large gabbro-hosted magnetic feature
TSXV: PUC
* Calculating Ni and Co tenor to 100% sulphide is a common practice in Ni-Cu-Co exploration to determine potential economic possibilities of nickel sulphide mineralization.

MAIDEN Drill Program Tested Airborne VTEM geophysical anomalies identified in 2018 and identifies target area for further evaluation
• The Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines' (MNDM) 1990 GEOTEM Survey (Map 81360) identified 11 EM anomalies in the area covered by the combined land positions controlled by Pancon (Montcalm Project) and Glencore (Montcalm Mine)
• The former Montcalm Mine is coincidental with 3 of those 11 EM anomalies
• 6 of the 11 EM anomalies from the MNDM Survey are associated with a complex magnetic feature called the Hook zone.
• These 6 anomalies are proximal to each other and form two east-west oriented trends which follow the magnetic pattern
• The magnetic pattern in the Hook zone has a curved hook shape indicating local change in strike direction
• This change in strike direction posed a problem for the VTEM line orientation, and thus Pancon's subsequent drilling orientation. This would explain why Pancon's 2 holes in the Hook zone did not intersect mineralization
• Pancon's 2 strongest VTEM anomalies are both located in the Hook zone
• They were not explained by drilling, remain viable targets and are the subject of ongoing reinterpretation

WHY Pancon Now?
Poised for discovery
All 6 projects near or surrounding producing or former mines
in safe proven mining jurisdictions
Management and technical teams with global track
record of discovery, development and
value creation
Nano technology may impact demand for gold in the mid-to long term as gold’s role is growing
in solar energy technologies
As a leading global producer of gold, nickel, copper and cobalt, North America is primed to respond to the growing demand for
commodities required in clean energy technologies
Because copper is a highly efficient conductor of electricity and heat, it is used in renewable energy systems to generate power
from solar, hydro, thermal and wind energy across the world
Innovation trends in advanced battery technology require significantly more nickel content in
today’s batteries
Cobalt, primarily mined as a by-product of nickel and copper, is important as a key input for
rechargeable batteries, and thus electric vehicles
